Plankorsningar, där väg och järnväg möts i en punkt, utgör en riskfylld del av transportsystemet. Olyckorna vid plankorsningar har lett till allvarliga konsekvenser i Sverige. Där Sveriges långsiktiga mål (Nollvisionen) syftar på att ingen ska dö eller skadas allvarligt i trafiken, vilket omfattar att öka säkerheten vid plankorsningar för att. Syftet med examensarbete har varit att undersöka säkerLevel crossings, where road and railway intersect at the same point, represent a high-risk part of the transport system. Accidents at level crossings have led to serious consequences in Sweden. Sweden's long-term goal (the Vision Zero) aims for no one to be killed or seriously injured in traffic, which includes increasing safety at level crossings. The purpose of this thesis has been to examin

This thesis aims to critique and move beyond dominant discourses of resilience within LGBTQ+ and trans research. Drawing from decolonial critiques of resilience and trans scholarship, the thesis engages with queer phenomenology and Black radical thought to propose an alternative theoretical framework of fugitive resilience. Grounded in empirical research with trans individuals in a Swedish context

I takt med att arbetsmarknaden förändras och personalomsättningen ökar, har kraven på träffsäkra, hållbara och strategiska rekryteringsprocesser blivit alltmer centrala för organisationers långsiktiga framgång. Samtidigt har digitalisering och teknologiska framsteg gett upphov till nya verktyg och metoder, såsom AI-baserad screening och automatiserade urvalssystem, vilket har förändrat rekrytering

Denna studie undersöker hur marknadsföring av sportevenemang på lokal och regional nivå organiseras, kommuniceras och upplevs av olika aktörer. Utgångspunkten är att mindre sportevenemang spelar en central roll inom besöksnäringen, men att tidigare forskning främst har fokuserat på internationella och storskaliga evenemang. Därmed finns en kunskapslucka kring de särskilda förutsättningar och utman

This work investigates single-sensor localization of acoustic emissions (AEs) along a wind turbine blade with supervised neural networks. We evaluate six architectures: a Dense MLP, a 1D CNN on time-domain inputs, two 2D CNNs on linear spectrograms (LinSpec) and mel-spectrograms (MelSpec), a CRNN (2D CNN + LSTM), and RepVGG (Mini RepVGG in simulation, RepVGG-A0 in experiments). Three experimental

Digitaliseringen har förändrat hur musik skapas, lärs ut och framförs. Inom gymnasieskolans estetiska program har detta lett till införandet av elektroniskt digitalt instrument (EDI) som valbart instrument i ämnet instrument eller sång. Införandet väcker frågor om hur EDI bör förstås och implementeras i undervisningen – särskilt i relation till övrig instrumentalundervisning. Studien syftar till a

Several studies have reported a declining reading rate in school-aged children. Thus, this thesis therefore aimed to evaluate how students in their last semester of high school (gymnasiet) would have their attentive behaviour affected when reading challenging texts, and with the allowance or the prohibition of the use of electronic devices in the classroom. The purpose of the study was to foster a

This study examines whether share buybacks lead to real improvements in operational performance for public companies in the Nordic region. Buybacks are frequently associated with mechanical improvements in financial metrics on paper and market signaling, yet how they affect a company’s operational performance has not been clearly established. This is analyzed by comparing companies that conducted

In the rush of urban growth, a fractured reality unfolds in Metro Manila, Philippines: one side is a booming, ever-evolving metropolis, while the other is a flood of migrant workers, the unemployed, and the homeless. Slums have even become a luxury few can afford, where even securing a place to live means waiting in line. When slums are a dream out of reach, and space for survival is stretched t

This thesis examines the social integration experiences of talent migrants in Shenzhen, China, within the framework of policy-driven institutional support. Distinct from traditional labor migrants, talent migrants are highly educated professionals who actively choose Shenzhen as their destination, benefiting from preferential measures such as streamlined household registration, subsidized housing,

Since the COVID-19 pandemic the need for mental healthcare has increased globally, which has been causing longer waiting times before treatment becomes a possibility. Many new innovations have been made to improve this, such as internet- and artificial intelligence-based treatments. The current study experimented the influence of TalkToAlba platform’s AI-cognitive behavioural therapy chatbot and i

Over 44 years ago, martial law was introduced in Poland as an attempt to defeat those who dared to take a fight against communist regime with demands for a better life and freedom. Demands that were met with reprisals. Tens of people were killed and hundreds were injured as a result of actions taken by regime. Today, the political debate about martial law is divided with various sides taking their

This thesis investigates how national institutional architectures mediate the effectiveness of government support in shaping the international success of military-industrial firms. Through a comparative case study of SAAB (Sweden) and Rheinmetall AG (Germany), it analyzes firm performance across export capability, profitability, and dual-use innovation. Despite similar product domains, the firms a

Digitaliseringen har omformat bygg- och fastighetssektorn, och digitala tvillingar är ett snabbt framväxande koncept där flera av de nya teknologierna i branschen sammankopplas. Digitala tvillingar representerar nästa steg efter byggnadsinformationsmodellering (BIM). En digital tvilling, en virtuell kopia, med ett bidirektionellt datautbyte med sin fysiska motsvarighet i realtid, har potential attDigitalization has reshaped the AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operation) industry, and digital twins are a rapidly emerging concept where several of the industry's new technologies are gathered. Digital twins represent the next step after Building Information Modeling (BIM). A digital twin, a virtual copy, with a bidirectional data exchange with its physical counterpart in

This thesis examines how societal circumstances and historical references can be included in the construction of narratives with the intention of reaching and influencing listeners in a particular direction. It is based on two historical periods in Italy's history, first, the fascist takeover of the Kingdom of Italy, and then the establishment of the Republic of Italy following the fall of the

Prior research has established that misinformation can distort episodic memory, and that attention plays a critical role in how these distortions unfold. Eye movements, as a real-time index of attention, offer a powerful method for investigating the mechanisms linking misinformation and memory. Although earlier studies have examined misinformation effects on eye movements, these studies have mostl

Soot, formed during incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons, is a challenging compound to study. It affects air quality, climate, and human health. Its structural and optical properties are not fully understood due to variations in particle size, structure, chemical composition, and degree of carbon hybridization. In this work, soot was generated using a MiniCAST 5201C soot generator, which produces

On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched an attack in Israel, killing approximately 1,200 Israelis and taking hundreds hostage. In response, the Israeli government initiated a large-scale military operation in Gaza. As of March 2025, the strip is left in ruins with more than 50,000 Palestinians estimated to have been killed by Israeli warfare. The war has resulted in a fragmented and deeply divided inte

The process of associative inference is one that is vulnerable to social biases and misinformation. Previous research has shown that associative inference, where separate yet related episodes are combined into unified memory representations, benefits from ingroup contexts relative to outgroup contexts. The present study investigated whether these effects arise from differences in source monitoring
